That has been there since November, but it used to say Search instead of Ask.

It searches the current forum space for the text you type in to see if someone else has already started a similar thread. It just pops down a search results list (as it did before), but not also has a button in the results drop down to start a new thread.

It would be more intuitive let it be the way it was before. It described to tee what it did. Now as you can see from even the hardened regulars here its absolutely confusing. It sounds like you asking whether you want to ask questions about the question. Some times its seems that peope that know too much about computer systems think too logically, and over-think stuff too much. Instead of thinking like the people will be using whatever they are designing.

The Forums are for the users. Unlike the software is written soley to satisfy Company officials and investors. And The forums should be based on what the Users want not what the handlers deem proper.

Curt, I entered "curt" in the Search for an answer... box in this forum, and got at least 1+ page of results (as I have complained many times, this

isn't at all herlpful or informative; and there was no indication about the number of hits). All 15 on the first page were messages posted by you, or posts that mentioned your name. And when I clicked on the first hit, I was taken here:

Are you in the top level (read-only) Photoshop forum or in the Photoshop General sub-forum when testing this?

To do the full search, you shouldn't have to highlight the text in the search box. Simply type in your search term and hit Enter/Return and it should add the asterisk and take you to the full search results page.

When I enter text the first time no asterisk is added and a list of threads are added below the search box, but before the forum Discussion. If I click on a thread all search results dissapear.

IF I HIT ENTER THE SECOND TIME, rather than clicking on a thread, an asterisk is added and then another window is opened with the entire the list of search results. Clicking on thread here works as normal.

It does not seem logical to hit enter twice to bring up list. Seems more logical just to click on the thread you want to read. And if you do, the search function does not work.

If this is normal to push Enter twice, then a note should be added to make this clear.

No, it is not normal to hit enter twice. Typing in a search phrase and hitting enter (once) should open the full search results page (and does for me, though it takes a couple of seconds to open the search results page).

What should happen is that as you type a box drops down showing 5 hits on your search terms. Those results will change as you keep typing more in the box, trying to narrow down the search. You should be able to click on any of those five items to open that item. I just tried again and that is working for me.

If you don’t see what you want in those five items you can either hit Enter or click on the See More Results button. Either one should open the full search results page.
